To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
Is there any law which compels a passenger
on the street-cars to march up to the dumb con-
ductor and ram nickel down his throat regard
less of how many pet corns he may crush in his
anxiety to avoid being ''called OUT before the
other passengers Would it not fill all the re-
quirements OF law if passenger would have his
fare ready and when the driver calls him out"
tell him to come and get his farel l ask this in
formation in all candor. and want legal sou-
ton. P. T. Barnum says the American people
are the easiest duped of any in the world, and it
seems to me that the people .--of
Indianapolis are proving this assertion
by making it possible for the street
railway to dispense with conductors. If the law
does not provide that passengers must deposit
the fare in the cash box why not try the expert
ment of letting the driver collect the fares es-
pecially when has to rpm the risk of being
knocked out" for smashing somebody's corns or
sitting down in the lap of some fellows best girl
as the goes around corrsr.
Ordinarily, would not object to passing
ones fare, but then he must do the gallant
and pass the fares of all the ladies in tine car or
he's gentleman. Let US have the Journ ais

Systematic Robbery Carried on for
Twenty-Three Years.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. Is Joseph
Knight, bookkecper of the Manufacturers
National bank, was taken before United
States Commissioner Edwards, this after
noon, charged with stealing from tho funds
Of the bank between $4,000 and $4,000.
The officers Of tho bank discovered
Knights deliuquencies several weeks ago.
They placed the case in the hands OF the
Pinker.on agency, and knight was arrest
ed few days ago. The matter was kept
quiet by the bank until today. II is said
that knight has been appropriating to his
own use the banks money for nearly
twenty-five years. Mr.. knight was
bookkeepcr OF the Manufacturers
bank for some thirty-fye years,
and has always been considered a trust
worthy man. John w. Molly, president
OF the bank, said that he frst discovered
that the books were being filsilicd on The
9th of this month, the balance sheet not
coming out correct within about $4,000
Mr.. Knight is large-szed man, with al
most snow-whi,e hair and gray beard. lie
appears 10 be about sixty years Of age.
President Molly, of the bank, told the
story 30 the commissioner. He said that
night had confessed his crime and said
that he began stealing us far back Us 1864.
His plan was TO take tho money direct
from dcpositors, who were in hurry, and
enter it in tile ledger, but not report it 10
the teller. The books showed that he had
taken SGI, 900, and Knight confessed that
that sum was about correct.

TWO SENSATIONS.
Last Nights Audience at the Theater
Gets More Than II Expected.

Last Nights Audience at the Theater
Gets More Than It Expected.
The large and fashionable audience at
the theater last night werc treated to more
than fine performance OF Gas You Like
It," There were two sensations not on
the program, one laughable, the other
alarming. Tho first occurred during the
third act OF the play. Eyes turned toward
the stage by absorbing interest were at
tracted by the appearance Of neatly at
tired and robust young man, who moved
brlskly and rather suspiciously down into
the parquet. Without halt or glance TO
the right or left, no approached n lady,
caught her by the arm, raised her ont OF the
seat she occupied, and half showed her from
the building. Not word was uttered by
tho couple inside the house, and there
was no little wonder and confusion. AS
soon rs they reached the street the man
began to heap trade 0f abuse upon his
female companion, which caused Capt.
Pat Hackct., who followed them from the
ueater, 10 demonstrate and order the man
TO refrain. The fellow explained that the
lady WAS his wife, that he was angry and
jealous OF her, but il she would forgive
him Tor his strange action ho would never
repeat IL or anything similar. With this
the officer Offered no further advice, but
kept an eye on the couple until they on
tered Gaston's hotel. There II was
learned by an APPEAL reporter that
TIE man continued his noisy abuse
after they had gone to their room,
and porter was sent TO protest
and insist upon n cessation Of the disturb
ancc. The husband explained that IL was
family affair, but compiled with instruc-
tions and left the hotel. II seems two
ladies came 10 the city Wednesday even
ing, from Arkansas, aud both were as.
signed 10 room No. as. The husband Of
the victim ot last nights sensation came

the audience uneasy, and every eye made
close search for tho cause. In the aud.

tho stage people gave NO sign OF disturbed

however, that one Of the drcssing-rooms

too, without any noise that reached the
audience. II was brave and pr,iscworthy
proceeding. deserving Of the warmest com
mendation for those who performed it.

in tho message at trusts in general had
something 10 do with causing this auda-
cious declaration. Mr.. Cleveland is not an
ardent champion Of that peculiar form OF
modern extortion that manifests itself in
these combines against the people"
